Manufactured in India, supplied in Czechia
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Czechia
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Czechia. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Hamburg, then rail and road inland, with container pricing that suits the way Czech projects buy.

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Czechia brief
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing.
Work reaching us from Czechia is mostly production halls, plant rooms, offices, panel block apartments, schools, clinics.
Panel block housing has concrete walls with good mass but no impact isolation, while older masonry stock has timber floors that pass footfall.
- Corner loading Low frequency energy collects in corners, so absorber in the corners does more than the same area spread across a wall.
- First reflection points Mirror trick placement on side walls and ceiling, which is a handful of panels rather than a lined room.
- Behind a fabric frame Where the room has to look finished, absorber inside a frame rather than foam on show.
- What it will not do Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic foam and bass traps are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Czechia.
02 / Specification
One specification sheet, the same in every market
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- Foam wedge and pyramidLow density. Flutter and high frequency only
- BassBloc100 kg per cubic metre. Low mid absorption, control rooms, live rooms
| BassBloc size | 1800 x 900 mm |

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Czechia project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.

What decides the build-up in Czechia
- Panel block apartments
Prefabricated concrete panel housing passes speech and footfall between flats through thin, well connected elements. Surface treatment does nothing here. Mass and a resilient break do.
- Industrial noise is a mass problem
Compressors, presses and extraction plant are low frequency and structure-borne. We will tell you when absorption is the wrong purchase rather than sell it to you.
- Value is checked properly
Czech buyers compare specifications line by line. That suits a manufacturer, because we can answer for what is actually in the product.
- Landlocked, so plan the inland leg
Hamburg then rail and road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme is built on real dates.
- The housing stock
Panel block housing has concrete walls with good mass but no impact isolation, while older masonry stock has timber floors that pass footfall.
- The studio and content scene
A strong recording tradition, with rooms fitted into older buildings where the structure helps and the surfaces do not.
If you are specifying for a Czechia project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Czechia, before acoustics is discussed
Czechia is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Czechia, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Hamburg, then rail and road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Hamburg |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Hamburg, then rail and road inland. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Acoustic foam | 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m |
|---|---|
| BassBloc | 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m |
| Bass traps | 10 pieces |
A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Czechia certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

Czechia: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic foam and BassBloc you supply to Czechia actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Czechia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Hamburg, then rail and road inland, with container pricing that suits the way Czech projects buy. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Czechia build-up differ from anywhere else?
Prefabricated concrete panel housing passes speech and footfall between flats through thin, well connected elements. Surface treatment does nothing here. Mass and a resilient break do. Compressors, presses and extraction plant are low frequency and structure-borne. We will tell you when absorption is the wrong purchase rather than sell it to you. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Czechia climate?
Czechia is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
What is the delivery time into Czechia?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Hamburg, then rail and road inland, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What should you not buy acoustic foam and BassBloc for?
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same minimums apply on export. Acoustic foam, 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m. BassBloc, 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m. Bass traps, 10 pieces. A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels. Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc.

Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
